1. Kaitlin B.
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job with our dog. I was nervous as this is the first time we’ve used her and she exceeded our expectations! She helped work on his behavior issues and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will be definitely using her anytime we go out of town!”
2. Hannah G.
“I cannot vouch enough how amazing Hannah was as a house and dog sitter. We have two large rambunctious dogs (German shep and pitbull). She came and met and played with them a week before and was super communicative before, during and even after her stay. We ended up having an emergency where she needed to stay another night so I paid her more plus tip but she was more than happy to help. Thank god her schedule permitted! She sent photos and updates on the dogs and was a wonderful house guest. We HIGHLY recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future without a doubt!!”
3. Jessie P.
“Very pleased with Jessie. Compassion and daily exercise were given our dog Elton. Would recommend to future clients and will book with her again.”
4. Katherine K.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has pet-sat for me many times and my cats were always very comfortable around her, happy, and well taken care of. I have also seen her interact with her own cat for a long time now, and she is always so caring and attentive with her cat. Katherine is reliable, competent, and warm.”
5. Bree B.
“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”
6. Derrick W.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Derrick for 3 years, and I can confidently say he is one of the most caring and reliable pet sitters I’ve ever encountered. Derrick has a natural love for animals, and his attention to detail when caring for pets is unmatched! He takes the time to understand each pet's needs, whether it’s their daily routine, dietary preferences, or any special care requirements. I’ve seen firsthand how Derrick goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable. I would trust him with my own pets in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
7. Thin K.
About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!
8. Mykhail M.
“She has done such a good job watching my dogs. I needed someone to watch my dog last minute because I needed to help my mom in another state. She rush right over that same night. She treats my dog like they are family. I highly recommend her.”
9. Ella M.
“Ella took great care of our Daisy when we needed a last minute dog sitter for the weekend. Daisy adored her. We will definitely use Ella again! She was wonderful!”
10. Kelsi K.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.

12. Rebekah K.
“Bekah has love for animals of all shapes and sizes! She is passionate about providing proper care for animals and making sure they're happy and healthy.”
13. Jackie K.
“Extremely nice and communicated very well. Respected our house and kept it nice and clean. Took amazing care of our dog during our time away. We had a thunderstorm which our dog is terrified of and she comforted him the entire time as if he was her own dog.”
14. Erin A.
“Erin was so good with my boy Bo while I was on vacation! She took the time to make sure he was not only physically taken care of, but also emotionally. Erin is very responsible, and I would only trust the best with my boy. I highly recommend her!”
15. Amara L.
“Amara was wonderful with our dog, Coop! She sent us pictures and updates on how he was doing! We were thrilled with her care of our dog and our house as well. When we need another pet sitter, Amara will for sure be on our short list to call! She was wonderful and Coop did so well under her care!!!”
16. Caroline D.
“Caroline did an exceptional job caring for our cat and elderly dog during our recent vacation. She went above and beyond just walking, feeding and cleaning -really taking the time to love and play with our pets during our absence. Usually, our dog is very anxious when we are absent, but she was calm and happy upon our return this time. We highly recommend Caroline for loving care of your pets.”
17. Alex W.
“Alex has been a wonderful pet sitter for my two furry family members in Austin, TX. Alex was always super communicative, on time, and shared updates when she cared for my pets. She house-sat for me multiple times, taking care of my cat Cashew and Dog Oatmeal, and would take Oatmeal to her own house for play dates and sleep overs whenever I had to be out of town. Leaving pets with Alex was like leaving them with a trusted friend or family member! We never had to worry about them when they were in her care, because we knew she treated them like her own. I highly recommend Alex as a pet sitter, our animals miss her dearly!”

About: I have been pet sitting my families pets for over a year. I love all animals but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. In my free time I also walk dogs in animal shelters. I am working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I just recently got out of high school and am looking for more jobs working with animals. I have one energetic dog and 2 cats at my home. I can easily crate your dog/s if needed. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I will have to take your dog out on a leash. I can walk/ take your dog on as many adventures as needed!
